Is the display still attached at the left end or is it swinging free?  
If swinging free, repeated open/closes will eventually stress the  
right hinge and probably damage it. Plus, there are wires in the hinge  
that will get damaged.

If the display is still attached to the laptop body somehow but no  
longer providing friction hold, It should last a while. On mine, the  
hinge pin is broke, (broke while I was trying to loosen it.) but the  
display is still attached. It opens a lot easier, but there's still  
enough friction in the right hinge to hold the display open.

You'll probably want to limit the number of openings and closings if  
possible.
